Many thanks,
Neil.

My first firearm

Was at the Kansas City Military show and bought a 1922 Izhevsk Mosin Nagant. The first picture is from a reference site (the only difference is the year) because my camera is utter crap.

Political Leaders Buckles, M4/37 vs. M4/87: Eagle Differences & Desirability

Hi, guys. I am trying to decide which of these two Political Leader's buckles to purchase (both the same price) and am curious what people's thoughts are on them. The first buckle, M4/87 (Matth. Salcher & Sohne AG , Wagstadt (Sudetenland)) seems to me to be in slightly better condition than the 2nd M4/37 (Stefan Merkl, Nurnberg) buckle. Does anyone know or have an opinion as to which maker might be more desirable? I am also curious if one might be an earlier made buckle as the beak/bill of the eagles seem to differ, M4/37 appearing as more of a hook.

Any opinions or info would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Adam

Good places online to buy photos??

Hi all, I've recently been interested in Third Reich photos, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of the best places to go online to buy original photos? The Collector's Guild has some nice stuff but that site seems a little pricey...

Auction: Commando Dagger,WW2 3rd pattern Fairburn Sykes

up for auction is a wartime 3rd pattern Fairburn Sykes commando dagger. The condition is good , blade has been sharpened and maybe ever so slightly shorter ,but not much. the brown leather scabbard is in very good repair with elastic strap still useable.
The cast hilt has a number 3 at top. and the brass pommel has two joined x like characters. Overall very nice example of this classic knife

USMC field gear - US markings

Greetings

I have a HBT USMC jacket I am thinking of throwing some field gear on and I am curious about markings. Were the marines issued field gear with only USMC stampings or did they also receive kit with the standard "US" stamp?

Regards
Ross

Aluminum Heer Buckle w/Right-Facing Eagle and SA Buckle: Recent Purchases!

Hi, all. I finally got these 2 buckles that I had been thinking about purchasing and that this forum had given me feedback on. The first is the one that was determined to be an early aluminum parade buckle with a rarer right-facing eagle and second an earlier SA buckle with a bit harder to find eagle/swastika design. Thought I’d share these pictures that I just took with my own camera. Thanks for all the help!

Best,
Adam
